In 2022 a "Message in a bottle" from 2013 washes up on the shore as a reminder of US Treasury's " Myth vs. #FATCA isaacbrocksociety.ca/2013/09/20/fro…

Walking further down the shoreline, I found a second "Message In A Bottle" - Circa 2015. A 192 page book documenting the "Facts" exposing US Treasury's 2013 "#FATCA Myths" (AKA "Stack-Of-Lies) which continue to this present day. Have a look at this. citizenshipsolutions.ca/wp-content/upl…

Spent afternoon reading that 192 book absorbing the shocking atrocities committed by the USA against its diasporA. I then tripped, fell into a ditch, landing on a 3rd message Circa 2017 - about a #FATCA hearing - from @AndyGr delivered by @IsaacBrockSoc isaacbrocksociety.ca/2017/05/28/tra…

I thought this cannot be true! I sighed and looked to the heavens. The sky darkened, the lighting and thunder began and a message appeared flashing across the sky confirming that #Americansabroad were caught in "The Perfect Storm" with no help coming. isaacbrocksociety.ca/2017/04/27/rev…

Exhausted, I fell into a deep sleep and dreamt that I was actually at the 2017 hearing. As the dream continued, I imagined how I would summarize the hearing for those forced into #citizide. It went something like this, but you should start at the end ... isaacbrocksociety.ca/2017/04/30/imp…

I was abruptly awakened by the noise of somebody hammering "sign posts" near the shore line. As I approached I could see there were four posts with a "plaque" (of the ornamental tablet kind) on each post. I walked closer to find that each post had a different #FATCA message(s).

I slowly read each of the four plaques. I remembered the 192 page book, @ADCSovereignty #FATCA lawsuit, 2017 Meadows hearing, the comments from the @IsaacBrockSoc and I realized that the messages on the plaques were the exact opposite of the truth. I asked what should I do? ...

For each message I: FIRST deleted the words "Some claim" in the first line and SECOND reversed the words "FACT" and "Myth". I had now replaced the Orwellian lie of the "FATCANatic" with "simple truth" of #Americansabroad yearning to live "Form Free". isaacbrocksociety.ca/2014/11/05/the…

Yes, I was sure that Treasury was the Merchant Of The Myth and that there were many real, factual, geographically dispersed people of all walks of live who were suffering. As I walked on I saw image after image of real people with real suffering. we-are-not-a-myth.tumblr.com

And as I walked I stopped to find that:

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;"

While contemplating the 2013 "Message In A Bottle" and which of the two roads to take, I realized that for #Americansabroad in a #FATCA, #FBAR, #PFIC, #GILTI and penalty laden world - where nobody cares about them - that "All Roads Lead To Renunciation!" taxconnections.com/taxblog/why-al…
